A new plugin is under development here inside the Squidworks garage that allows Labtech MSPs to manage Dell Appassure Backup Cores servers from a common console inside of Labtech. The new plugin leverages Appassure REST API to mine data from each core and send that data back to the Labtech database. Using the same processes the plugin is able to send commands back to the cores to preform various tasks like start a new backup or replication.

The plugin provides a common view of each core at the location level console in Labtech. You can select one of many cores at any location and view the protected servers managed by that core. Selecting a protected server provides details about that server and the list of snapshots preformed on that system. We have many great features planed for this plugin so start following us now!

The plugin is still under development and will we have a release for early beta testers. Place a comment here you would like to be notified of updates and being included in the beta testing.

You Will need Powershell 3 on all Cores, Here is a script to install Powershell 3 directly from LabTech

Ah , new found life in this plugin. I was really struggling to keep interest in this guy with Dell changing all the powershell around and all the version issues but I have discovered the REST api they use for the web and have a new data miner script that is working across all versions strait back to the early releases of 5. It works on vista class and Windows 8 class systems and will require powershell 3.0 which a script will be provided in the bundle to update core servers.

I left out one table in the code, the events table and this caused a exception in the code. I have fixed this and have re uploaded the new copy. Anyone who has downloaded this plugin need to reinstall plugin with new version.

I really like this plug in and it looks promising, but I have followed the instructions in the readme.txt and it still will not pull data from the cores. We have over 20 clients with appassure and was hoping this would make life easier. Has any on been able to get it working?

Apparently the screen has to be larger than a specific size for the tab to work. I found this out accidentally. With that said, in your instructions you said that we must use PowerShell 3.0. My cores are installed on Windows 2012R2 which has PowerShell 4.0 installed. So far, I see no data from running the scripts. PowerShell 4.0 should run 3.0 scripts. Have you tested the scripts on 4.0? Thanks.

Hi,
I’ve followed the read me. The Core agents are well populated in the Appassure Cores group.
But, i can’t access the client console and I have this error when launching the script: “Parameters: %ltsvcdir%\AppassureD\AppassureEvents.sql
Output: ERR an error occurred: Could not find file ‘C:\Windows\LTsvc\AppassureD\AppassureEvents.sql’.
“, the AppAssureRecoveryPointStatus.sql and the AppAssureAgentInfo.sql are well generated.
Because of this error, no data are displayed on the dashboard.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
